Start the Story! Inspired by Hooker Oak Elementary 3rd and 5th Grade 2000-2001 KMAC Kids

The Mama Didn't Know story was created by the KMAC Kids 2000-2001, with special thanks to Bruce Baldwin, John Sweet, Molly Sweet, Beth Koch, Sheryl Clark, and Helen Deatsch. KMAC stands for: Kids Making A Connection, Health & the Environment; the Mama Didn't Know book was made possible by funds received from the Tobacco Tax Health Protection Act of 1988, Proposition 99, under Grant Number 99-85267 with the California Department of Health Services, Tobacco Control Section. California Smokers Helpline -800-NO-BUTTS. KMAC activities were originally supported by an NIEHS grant in K-12 environmental health science education, "Toxrap" Network.
